Zhang Huaihua also used all her strength at this time, struggled to kneel, and kowtowed Su Yujin several times.

“Miss Su, you are kind-hearted, please spare me!”

“My mother has been a widow for more than ten years. I was bullied when I was a child. It’s not easy for me to make a lot of money selling shaobings now, and my mother is sick. I can’t afford the monthly soup and medicine!”

“I wanted this money for a reason. I have no choice but to save my mother!”

“Miss Su, you are a good person, please let me go this time. I am really blinded by lard, I will never dare to do it again next time!”

“If I am sent to prison, my mother who is sick in bed at home will have nothing to eat and drink. It is really pitiful…”

Zhang Huaihua said all these while kowtowing extremely hard, and in the blink of an eye, blood was oozing from her foreheads, which was shocking to see.

Looking at her now crying and kowtowing, her face covered in blood, and every word in her mouth full of remorse, it was so pitiful.

If ordinary people saw it, they would inevitably feel compassion.

It was a pity that she, Su Yujin, had never been associated with the word “normal” since she was a child.

Raising an eyebrow, Su Yujin’s tone turned slightly cold, “Since you know the family depends on you, why would you do something like this? Knowing that trouble might arise one day, yet still indulging in greed. When you accepted that thirteen taels of silver, did you ever think about your mother left without anyone to care for her? I suspect you only thought about taking our mother elsewhere, living a comfortable life with good food and drinks.”

“What’s more…”

“If apologies and pity are useful, what else do you need the Yamen for?”

After saying that, Su Yujin didn’t want to say anything more to someone like Zhang Huaihua, who had ill intentions based on wealth. So she just raised her hand and said, “Send her to the Yamen.”

Come on. Miss ordered, and Qing Kui and others did not hesitate at all. They took the shaobings, crotons, and other physical evidence, and dragged Zhang Huaihua out. They thought her crying was too noisy, so they found a towel in the shop and gagged her with it.

On the way, she felt that Zhang Huaihua was struggling on the ground and refused to move. Qing Kui got angry and simply picked up Zhang Huaihua put it on her shoulders, and took her to the Yamen.

Here, Ai Cao finally came out of the hut.

The person was as weak as a noodle and could not stand firmly.

She sat down on a stool, leaned against Jin Gui’s body, and drank half a bowl of sugar salt water prepared by Mother Liu. Only then did Ai Cao gain a little energy, “Aunt… Miss…”

Su Yujin gave Ai Cao another pulse reading.

“Fortunately, you eat a lot normally, so your foundation is pretty good. It’s not a big problem right now. You just need to rest for a few days.” Su Yujin said, “I’ll prescribe a warming prescription for you later, Mother Liu, go get the medicine and come back. Drink it three times a day for two or three days. It will heal faster.”

The weather was cold and it was the time of season change. Don’t get wind and cold because of your weak body resistance.

“Thank you, Miss.” Ai Cao weakly thanked her, her face full of resentment.

My good Miss, can you stop talking about her eating too much…

She let Jin Gui and others help Ai Cao back, leaving Mother Liu to take care of her at home. Seeing that Qingkui and Shuangye hadn’t come back yet, Su Yujin So simply helped sell food at Su Kee.

As there were no shaobings to accompany the soup, Su Yujin asked Jin Gui and Qinghe to buy a lot of steamed buns from nearby.

When drinking mutton soup, the taste of steamed buns was naturally not as good as that of shaobings, and the price of steamed buns outside was also lower than that of shaobings.

Su Yujin weighed it up and decided that every customer who bought mutton soup today would be given two steamed buns.

The weight and value of two steamed buns are already higher than that of one shaobing, so there was no reason for the guests to be reluctant, but they still regretted that there were no shaobings today.

The mutton soup needs to be paired with shaobings to highlight the taste.

Shaobing had become something that Su Ji’s shop urgently needed now.

But once she was bitten by a snake, Su Yujin still didn’t trust the vendors outside. She was really afraid that there would be someone who couldn’t resist the temptation of money and plot against her to destroy Su Ji.

In the end, after much deliberation, she decided to do it myself.

But she was not going to make plain shaobings, but the beef tongue shaobing.

Beef Tongue Shaobing was named so because it was four inches long and two inches wide as if it were a beef tongue. Due to the eating habits of different places, the cooking methods were different.

In order to match the taste of the mutton soup, Su Yujin used salt and pepper.

When the dough was kneaded into a ball, she mixed in the prepared pepper and salt, rolled it out into the shape of a beef tongue, sprinkled with a layer of sesame seeds, and baked it directly on the stove.

The beef tongue shaobings made in this way were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Because of the enough salt and pepper, they tasted very flavorful. They were perfect with lamb offal soup. Even if they were eaten alone, they were full of flavor.

Because the beef tongue shaobings were so delicious, people already came here to buy them.

But because the business in the shop was really good, they couldn’t spare much time. Before opening the door for business, they were busy making some shaobings, which was barely enough to go with the soup. No more could be made, so the beef tongue shaobings here at Su Ji were only sold with mutton soup, and you could only buy three at most for a bowl of mutton soup.

Therefore, when you go to Suji to drink mutton soup, you must buy three beef tongue shaobings, which became a tacit understanding among those who came to drink haggis soup.

In this way, when preparing the beef tongue shaobings, they had an idea in mind. They could prepare three times the amount of the soup portion.

Regarding the fact that Zhang Huaihua added croton water to the shaobings supplied to Su Ji and intended to put croton into the mutton soup, the Yamen came to a conclusion after two days of review.

Because Zhang Huaihua couldn’t tell who was the person who instigated her, the case was tried as if she was the mastermind. The County magistrate finally decided that Zhang Huaihua would be fined ten taels of silver and from the confiscated money, Su Ji would be given five taels of silver as compensation.

In addition, because of Zhang Huaihua’s evil intentions, to prevent others from imitating her or even poisoning other people’s food shops at will, Zhang Huaihua was beaten with twenty boards, sentenced to one year of hard labor, and paraded through the streets of Qinghe County for an hour.

The parade started at noon.

At this time, everyone was returning home after finishing their work, or just about to have a meal in a restaurants, so there were many people leisurely on the street. They saw Zhang Huaihua in shackles and heard about the reason from a middle-aged man. The result was that rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in their hands were ready to move.

After all, most of them had eaten at Su’s Restaurant or bought food from there. If this person casually tainted the food at Su’s Restaurant, whoever happened to consume it would be in trouble.

Moreover, daring to taint the food with croton powder this time, who was to say they wouldn’t use poison next time? To prioritize money over the lives of others was truly despicable!

Everyone felt that the danger was too close to them, and the anger in their hearts burst out.

Because of the unusual anger of the onlookers, Zhang Huaihua’s parade speed became very slow.

Author’s Note

Recently, many readers have left messages saying that they should read old books first. To prevent little cuties from stepping on my toes, let me give you a reading tip…

  　　The first book of “Weixiang” is Farming. It was influenced by the mainstream writing style at that time. It is a refreshing article overall. Fairly fluent, but the author is new to writing. The writing style is limited and the logic is not strong. There are many delicious foods, but the descriptions are a bit stiff. If you like delicious food and refreshing writing, you can spend your time reading the

  　　second book of “The Little Cute Daughter-in-law, Farming“. , influenced by the editors and mainstream trends at the time, and the book’s performance was not very good, the author’s mentality fluctuated, the overall structure of the text had gaps, and there was a sense of constantly changing directions during the writing process, and the consequences of pulling back and forth were , the logic is not very reasonable, the author tried his best to be round, but the effect is not great. The advantage is that the writing style is a little calmer.

  　　The third book of “Eldest Sister She’s Rich” is based on the lessons learned from the first two books. The beginning is okay, the pace is a little slow in the middle, and the ending is a bit sloppy (mainly because the author’s head was empty at the time and he didn’t know what to write) , this is due to lack of writing experience, but it really is not a bad ending on purpose…) The overall rhythm is considered to be bright, and you can still take a look.

  　　The fourth book of “The Farmer’s Stepmother Skillfully Farms” is called “Farming.” Readers and the author themselves feel that the writing style of this book has greatly improved. Farming is very down-to-earth and has received many praises from readers. The overall rhythm is slow and the flow is long and warm. It is recommended to read it. , of course, some people may mind that the “dead” husband is back…

  　　The overall situation is like this. You can choose according to your taste. The author keeps writing and gaining experience. I hope the more he writes, the better~

T/N I really had hard time finding image or recipe for the beef-tongued Shaobings. At first, before reading the chapter, I thought the dish was literally what it sounded like; made of beef tongue! Then I understood it was shaped like that! Then I thought it was going to a big one, like our naan which are often quite big. Anyway, I found this recipe here and an Youtube video, linked below.
